Draft Jerry Springer for Ohio Governor in 2010

Ohio's woes have come to this.

Governor Strickland's support for Issue 2, the attempted corporate hi-jacking of the state Constitution by agri-business, leads me to call upon Jerry Springer to challenge Governor Strickland for the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor.

Governor Strickland has regularly dissed his left flank since taking office.

He has drastically cut the social safety net. He has forsaken renewable energy sources and supported dirty coal, oil and nuke power . He has been silent about single-payer, Medicare for All which would save the state and local levels of government billions of dollars each year by reducing the taxpayers' cost for health insurance for public employees. Governor Strickland helped to unlawfully and unethically rob Attorney General Marc Dann of his elected office.  He continues to support the death penalty. Drug decriminalization and industrial hemp legalization, not on the horizon. And, Strickland has appointed Taft/Bush acolytes throughout state government.

Ohio continues to be on the wrong track. Strickland's trickle-down, Reaganomic policies will not bring back our manufacturing and innovative base.

The people of Ohio decisiviely voted for real change in 2006 and 2008. Governnor Strickland deserves a Democratic primary challenge from someone who will not be beholden to corporate and tycoon campaign contributors. What other liberal has the name recognition, communication skills, money and ego other than Jerry Springer?

C'mon home Jerry, you've made enough money.

Springer for Governor in 2010!
